5.0 out of 5 stars Great compact electric outdoor grill!!!, March 28, 2001

I've had the electric patio caddie for a little over a year now, and it is an exceptional convenience. Living in an apartment complex where gas grills aren't allowed, the electric grill was my only viable alternative, but I didn't realize I was going to prefer it. Build quality is great, it heats up quickly enough (10 mins or so) and can maintain grilling temperatures of 400-500 degrees. Though compact, it is large enough to feed 2-4 potential culinary critics, from steaks to seafood to the exotic, you name it. The only slight problem I've found is that if you keep the porcelain lid off too long, the temperature can drop quickly, but for a compact grill, that's to be expected. Cleanup is not kidergarten easy, but it's not difficult either. Learn to use it (i.e. harness the "force"), and the Patio Caddie is extremely easy to control, master, and enjoy for years to come. A gas version is also available. From this review you'd think I work for Charbroil, but I don't! Great grill - 5 stars...

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Grill, June 2, 2002

I live in an apartment, and was forced to buy an electric because no gas or charcoal grills are allowed. I picked this one, and I will say that I am very, very pleased with this grill. You still put charcoal briquets (included) into it, and it cooks VERY well, with no added tastes that you sometimes get from charcoal or gas grills. Top notch product, for a good price!

I've had this grille a number of years. You need to replace or clean the upper and lower aluminum liners. They can get greasy if you grille meat that isn't lean. If you try to do a high heat cleaning you can have a fire (I did). I found that if you cut slits in them where they go around the attachment areas, you can slide them out and clean them by hand. A big savings.
Having a cover that you need to completely remove, rather than tilt back, can be inconvenient. When hands are full that cover can be a pain. Other than that, it cooks a good steak, shrimp, veggies...just about anything. You need to make sure that the thermostat probe under the lid is clean or you won't get the proper reading outside.
